The Russian authorities do everything to completely destroy the friendly relations with Belarus. This is the message of the Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov. "Another gas conflict between the Russian authorities and Belarus caused information warfare", the Russian communist leader states.

«Recently, a number of Russian media made sharp and sometimes insulting remarks against the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. And it was done despite the fact that Belarus remains the most reliable strategic ally of Russia and the Belarusian people are fraternal,» Gennady Zyuganov said in the message, BelTA informs.

«The approach of the official Moscow to the Russian-Belarusian relations strongly contradicts even its own foreign policy doctrine of the ruling group of Russia. It is obvious that the Russian authorities’ relation to Belarus is not based on the strategic interests of security, as officially declared», Gennady Zyuganov said

«We have to remind the architects of the current policy of Russia that the West builds assiduously the «Iron Curtain» along the borders of our country.  The Baltic states, Moldova and Georgia are already there, and other former Soviet republics are being involved in it,» Gennady Zyuganov said.

According to the leader of the Communist Party, Belarus «remains in these conditions the only reliable ally of our country in the Western strategic direction». «It is Belarus who protects the Russian borders there where the conquerors used to attack Moscow from times immemorial. This is especially important today, when a Russia’s armed forces are practically destroyed as a result of so-called military reform «, Gennady Zyuganov said.

Russian authorities are guided by the commercial interests of the Russian oligarchy, Zyuganov

In his statement, Gennady Zyuganov, recalled that «economic and trade relations with Belarus have considerable importance for Russia taking into account the complementary nature of our economies.» «However, contrary to common sense, the Russian government is doing everything to finally destroy the friendly relations with the republic», the leader of the Communist Party said.
 
«The power elite of Russia has recently written off to Afghanistan the rest of the Soviet debt of 891 million dollars. And this country is controlled by NATO forces and that’s why it is a major supplier of heroin in Russia. But a few weeks before they twisted Belarus’ arms, demanding payment of 200 million dollars when their own debt for Minsk was 260 million dollars. What to make of such a «foreign policy»? » Gennady Zyuganov said in the statement.

«It is obvious that Russian leaders in their anti-Belarusian policy are guided by the class interests of the Western partners, who hate fiercely independent people’s Belarus, as well as by the commercial interests of the Russian oligarchy, which seeks to capture the modern Belarusian enterprises, particularly in the oil and gas industry», Gennady Zyuganov stated.

«Communist Party condemns the policy of the Russian authorities to Belarus, which is so obviously contradictable to the national interests of the country. The party demands to stop the vicious attacks on Belarus and its authorities and to restore vitally important for Russia good-neighborly relations with this sister republic,» Gennady Zyuganov said.
